The family of Drummer Lee Rigby, the soldier killed in Woolwich on

:01:36.:01:38.

Wednesday, have said their hearts have been ripped apart by his

:01:38.:01:42.

murder. His wife, Rebecca, and stepfather, Ian Rigby, fought back

:01:42.:01:47.

tears as they spoke on behalf of the 25-year-old's whole family. The two

:01:47.:01:51.

men arrested after the attack remain in hospital. In a moment we'll bring

:01:51.:01:53.

you more on the police investigation, but first our

:01:53.:02:03.
:02:03.:02:08.

correspondent Ed Thomas on a family could brought flowers for the, not

:02:08.:02:14.

far from where he was killed. The soldier, whose dream as a boy was to

:02:14.:02:19.

join the army. And for seven years he served with the Royal Regiment of

:02:19.:02:23.

Fusiliers, before his life was taken. And not just a British

:02:23.:02:29.

soldier. He was also a father, brother, son and husband. I love

:02:29.:02:34.

him, I always will, and I am proud to be his wife. He was due to come

:02:34.:02:42.

up this weekend so we could continue our future together as a family. He

:02:42.:02:49.

was a devoted father to our son, Jack, and we will both miss him

:02:49.:02:55.

terribly. Throughout the press conference, Lee Rigby's mother held

:02:55.:02:59.

the teddy he had bought for his two-year-old son. And his last

:02:59.:03:06.

message to her was read out. last text he sent to his mum read,

:03:06.:03:11.

good night, ma'am, I hope you had a fantastic day to day because you are

:03:11.:03:15.

the most fantastic one in a million mum that anyone could ever wish for.

:03:15.:03:19.

Thank you for supporting me all these years. You are not just my

:03:19.:03:26.

mum, you are my best friend. Good night, I love you loads. This was

:03:26.:03:31.

Lee Rigby training in Afghanistan. He also served in Cyprus and

:03:31.:03:34.

Germany, before he was killed in his own country, something his family

:03:34.:03:42.

cannot accept. When they are here, you think they are safe. He has

:03:42.:03:47.

walked that road so many times before. In Middleton, Flowers

:03:47.:03:51.

continued to arrive outside the family home. And along this street,

:03:51.:03:54.

the place where Lee Rigby grew up, many neighbours are now flying the

:03:54.:04:02.

flag of St George. It is their way to remember one of their own. And

:04:02.:04:06.

from his sisters, Courtney, 11, and Amy who is eight, there was this

:04:06.:04:13.

message. We loved you so much and you did not deserve this. You fought

:04:14.:04:18.

for your country and did it well. You will always be our hero. We love

:04:18.:04:23.

you. Good night. And from the whole family, a poem dedicated to the

:04:23.:04:30.

Fusiliers. You fought bravely and with nerd died, you leave your

:04:30.:04:40.
:04:40.:04:43.

family so full of pride -- with honour. Colleagues said Lee Rigby

:04:43.:04:46.

was born soldier. His stepfather said he had toured his family and

:04:46.:04:53.

they adored him. -- he adored his family.

:04:53.:04:56.

As new details emerge about the two men arrested for the murder of

:04:56.:04:58.

Drummer Lee Rigby, the security services are coming under scrutiny

:04:58.:05:01.

about how much they knew about them before the attack. Meanwhile, as

:05:01.:05:04.

Frank Gardner reports, there are dramatic new pictures showing what

:05:04.:05:12.

happened when armed police arrived at the scene. Captured on a mobile

:05:12.:05:21.

phone, the moment the murder suspects charged at police. Eight

:05:21.:05:25.

shots were fired in all, stopping the men in their tracks. Played

:05:25.:05:31.

again, you can see one man drop his knife and stop just two feet short

:05:31.:05:39.

of the police in their car. Incredibly, the suspects survive, as

:05:39.:05:43.

they are surrounded and searched. Shot in the legs, they are

:05:43.:05:45.

recovering in hospital and are expected to be questioned by detect

:05:45.:05:51.

tips. Both were known for years to the security service. Born into

:05:51.:05:54.

Christian families, they are converted to a radical brand of

:05:54.:06:01.

Islam. 28-year-old Michael Adebolajo frequently preached in Woolwich.

:06:01.:06:04.

Until 2010 he was a member of the banned extremist group

:06:04.:06:08.

Al-Muhajiroun. In 2006, he was photographed clashing with police

:06:08.:06:12.

outside the Old Bailey. Less is known about the second subject,

:06:12.:06:19.

Michael Adebowale, who is 22 and from Greenwich. As the searchers

:06:19.:06:22.

continued today at residential addresses in London and

:06:22.:06:26.

Lincolnshire, the security service, MI5, has been helping them dig deep

:06:26.:06:32.

into what was known about the suspects. Critics of MI5 say that

:06:32.:06:36.

surely the service should have spotted the warning signs, that at

:06:36.:06:38.

least one of the Woolwich murder suspects had well-known and

:06:38.:06:43.

dangerously radical ideas. But defenders of the service say there

:06:43.:06:46.

are thousands of the poor in this country with similarly radical

:06:46.:06:50.

ideas. There are hundreds of investigations going on, and they

:06:50.:06:56.

have to prioritise and cannot be everywhere at once. They take the

:06:56.:06:59.

threat assessment very seriously, looking at all the people who come

:06:59.:07:02.

across their radar and judge against the evidence they have available to

:07:02.:07:06.

see whether they are worth further investigation. It is a very

:07:06.:07:10.

difficult judgement to make. Although police arrived soon after

:07:11.:07:13.

the attack, it is clear the suspects were not placed under surveillance

:07:13.:07:20.

at the time. A mistake in hindsight, but too early to know if crews were

:07:20.:07:24.

missed that meant their angry views were about to turn into violent

:07:24.:07:32.

action. Frank Gardner joins me now. Allegations are being made about

:07:32.:07:36.

what the security services may have known about one of the men. This is

:07:36.:07:40.

a damning allegation. No way of telling if it is true but it is

:07:40.:07:44.

being made by somebody who in the past has proved correct. The

:07:44.:07:48.

allegation is that the main chief suspect that we heard about there,

:07:48.:07:54.

the holder of the two, who is currently under arrest in hospital,

:07:54.:07:59.

was actually approached by MI5, the security service, and asked to spy

:07:59.:08:05.

for them six months ago. And on the twitter feed, that person who has

:08:05.:08:08.

put out this allegation has said they know it because he told me

:08:08.:08:14.

about six months ago. That would be shocking if it is true, and it could

:08:14.:08:18.

be true. It is not completely strange, because if you think about

:08:18.:08:23.

it, if they are going to defeat extremism and terrorist plots, they

:08:23.:08:27.

are going to need informants on the inside. This particular person

:08:27.:08:33.

claims that the advance was rejected. No means of telling if it

:08:33.:08:37.

is true or not but I think it will surface quite a lot in the next few

:08:37.:08:40.

days, this. In Woolwich in south east London

:08:40.:08:43.

where the attack took place, there are still concerns about the impact

:08:43.:08:45.

on community relations following attacks on mosques in the last

:08:46.:08:48.

couple of days. Today, the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, renewed

:08:48.:08:58.
:08:58.:08:59.

calls for unity. Mark Easton reports.

:08:59.:09:03.

As worshippers left after Friday prayers at Greenwich mask, there was

:09:03.:09:06.

condemnation and denial. Condemnation of an attack which has

:09:06.:09:10.

lots -- rock to this community, and denial that either of the killers

:09:10.:09:17.

was known to them. Had you ever seen them before? These two men are not

:09:17.:09:20.

known in this community, have not been seen by anybody in this

:09:20.:09:24.

community. These people have just come there. They may even be asked

:09:24.:09:27.

whether they know this place and they do not know anyone in this

:09:27.:09:33.

place. The radicalisation of the Woolwich killers is unlikely to have

:09:33.:09:37.

happened in a mainstream mosque. But in a subculture of extremism often

:09:37.:09:41.

focused around eight hours Matic individual. Members of the now

:09:41.:09:46.

banned Islamic group, Al-Muhajiroun, once attended here but were pushed

:09:46.:09:50.

out by moderates a few years ago and for a time help rare meetings at a

:09:50.:09:54.

community centre a few hundred yards away. I was told by regulars at the

:09:54.:09:58.

mosque that one of those arrested after yesterday's killing may have

:09:58.:10:06.

prayed here once. After the attacks in 2005, Tony Blair announced some

:10:06.:10:08.

controversial measures to counter radicalisation of so-called

:10:08.:10:14.

home-grown terrorists. The rules of the game have changed. Many of the

:10:14.:10:19.

ideas have sub can be changed, or been abandoned. -- subsequently

:10:19.:10:27.

changed. What they want is for governments and authorities to over

:10:27.:10:30.

react in their immediate reaction. What they want is for communities to

:10:30.:10:35.

turn inwards and away from each other. There has been a spike in

:10:35.:10:41.

reported attacks on Muslim targets. A man was today charged with affray

:10:41.:10:44.

and two counts of possessing a weapon, after a smoke and aid was

:10:44.:10:47.

allegedly thrown into this Essex mosque shortly after the killing in

:10:47.:10:53.

Woolwich. The Archbishop of Canterbury met Muslim leaders today

:10:53.:10:59.

and praised the calm response of UK faith groups. I want to commend

:10:59.:11:01.

strongly what they are doing Longley and encourage Christian leaders more

:11:01.:11:07.

widely to do the same. This is very much a time for communities to come

:11:07.:11:13.

together. The vast majority of British Muslims

:11:13.:11:17.

have been sickened by Wednesday's events and are horrified their

:11:17.:11:21.

religion should be associated with such a barbaric act. Their prayers,

:11:21.:11:30.

they say, go to the family and friends of B. -- B.

:11:30.:11:33.

RAF Typhoon jets were scrambled to escort a passenger plane to Stansted

:11:33.:11:36.

after the crew activated an emergency alarm. The Pakistan

:11:37.:11:39.

Airlines flight from Lahore with 297 people on board was originally

:11:39.:11:43.

destined for Manchester Airport. Two men have been arrested on suspicion

:11:43.:11:49.

of endangering an aircraft. Tom Symonds has more. Wearing a

:11:49.:11:52.

forensics suit and plastic bags on his hands to protect potential

:11:52.:11:57.

evidence, this is one of the two men arrested this afternoon. Armed

:11:57.:12:01.

officers stand by. The six police said the men in custody are 30 and

:12:01.:12:09.

41. 308 passengers and 14 crew were on board the plane. Accounts are

:12:09.:12:12.

confused. A heated argument, attempts allegedly made to get into

:12:12.:12:18.

the cockpit. But it ended with an unscheduled landing at Stansted and

:12:18.:12:26.

police arriving at the door of the plane. Security people came on board

:12:26.:12:32.

and removed them safely. After ten minutes, we were removed from the

:12:32.:12:39.

plane. Pakistan International airlines flight PK 709 had arrived

:12:39.:12:43.

from Lahore and was half an hour from Manchester when the alert was

:12:43.:12:48.

raised with air traffic controllers. RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire

:12:48.:12:53.

scramble jets, and the aircraft made a over north-east England, turning

:12:53.:12:58.

back towards Stansted airport, where the two men were arrested. The

:12:58.:13:02.

aircraft has been moved to this remote location on the edge of the

:13:02.:13:07.

airport, a long way from terminal buildings. Some elderly passengers

:13:07.:13:12.

have it taken off, but also an Army bomb disposal vehicle has arrived.

:13:12.:13:16.

There is no indication that there is anything suspicious on board the

:13:16.:13:21.

plane, but given the current climate nothing is being left to chance.

:13:21.:13:24.

This evening the police said this incident was not linked to

:13:24.:13:30.

terrorism. Armed police officers entered the aircraft and arrested

:13:31.:13:35.

two suspects on suspicion of endangerment of aircraft. This is

:13:35.:13:38.

being treated as a criminal offence and remains under the direction of

:13:38.:13:43.

Essex police. The passengers are expecting to get back on board the

:13:43.:13:47.

plane later tonight. Riot police are on stand-by in the

:13:47.:13:50.

Swedish capital after five nights of rioting across the city. Youths,

:13:50.:13:52.

many asylum seekers, have been setting cars and buildings on fire,

:13:52.:13:55.

angry about rising unemployment and social exclusion. In a country

:13:55.:13:57.

renowned for its openness and tolerance, the rioting has raised

:13:57.:13:59.

questions about how successful attempts to integrate immigrants

:13:59.:14:09.
:14:09.:14:15.

have been. From Stockholm, Stephen Evans reports. Police and young men

:14:15.:14:17.

fight a running battle on the streets of Stockholm.

:14:17.:14:22.

As nearly a week of riots has gone on, trouble has spread across the

:14:23.:14:32.

country. Cars have been torched. Local people watched as a school was

:14:32.:14:38.

burnt. Windows of a library were smashed. In the cold light of day,

:14:38.:14:43.

David and Mustapha showed me around their troubled neighbourhood.

:14:43.:14:48.

have a much more rough society here in Sweden, with very much

:14:48.:14:52.

unemployment, lack of good education and public schools. People can't

afford to live a decent life. once had a reputation as an easy

:14:57.:15:03.

country of equality and warrants. But the riots have sparked a debate

:15:03.:15:08.

will stop a party of the far right has called for a curfew. The

:15:08.:15:13.

minister in charge warned against getting tough on immigrants. Don't

:15:13.:15:23.
:15:23.:15:23.

blame this on immigration. Don't let a few people throwing stones

:15:23.:15:28.

represent the percentage of Swedish people born abroad. That is a

:15:28.:15:33.

slippery slope. This is where it started. I have to say to you that

:15:33.:15:38.

there are rough areas in Europe than this. But here, they say they are

:15:38.:15:42.

pressured economically. The big question is, are these riots just

:15:42.:15:49.

bored boys making trouble, or is there something deeper going on?

:15:49.:15:53.

Sweden has welcomed asylum seekers from war zones. But the gap between

:15:54.:15:56.

rich and poor has widened faster here than any other industrial

:15:56.:16:06.
:16:06.:16:11.

country. These mothers say their sons feel marginalised. They feel

:16:11.:16:16.

left out, they feel outside. They feel their words are not being

:16:16.:16:20.

heard. Police are on high alert tonight, with extra officers called

:16:20.:16:25.

in. Sweden used to seem like a model of harmony. Riots have shattered

:16:25.:16:31.

that image. The High Court has ruled that the

:16:31.:16:36.

wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sally Bercow, is guilty of

:16:36.:16:40.

libelling Lord McAlpine. Mrs burka sent a defamatory tweet after BBC

:16:40.:16:43.

Newsnight wrongly linked to the former Conservative Party treasurer

:16:43.:16:47.

with child sex abuse last year. Mrs burka says she is surprised and

:16:47.:16:54.

disappointed. -- Mrs Bercow. She is the Speaker's

:16:54.:16:59.

wife who likes speaking out herself. Here is to speaking out, even if it

:16:59.:17:07.

can get you into trouble. And it did. This was one of her tweet is.

:17:07.:17:13.

This tweet led to a defamation battle. Sally Bercow treated two

:17:13.:17:18.

days after the Newsnight programme into child abuse at a children's

:17:18.:17:22.

home in the 1980s logic used a senior politician from the Thatcher

:17:22.:17:27.

years of involvement. That led to furious speculation, which wrongly

:17:27.:17:31.

implicated Lord McAlpine. This is not the first defamation case to be

:17:31.:17:35.

fought over a tweet, and it will not be the last. But it illustrates an

:17:36.:17:41.

important modern truth. Publication is publication, whether it is

:17:41.:17:47.

confined to a bite-size 140 character tweet, or whether it is in

:17:47.:17:51.

a carefully considered newspaper article. Lord McAlpine pursued those

:17:51.:17:54.

who had mentioned his name on the internet. Wanting to avoid stressful

:17:54.:18:00.

litigation, you made an offer to Sally Bercow. He is a very ill man,

:18:01.:18:10.

and he has been put through hell and back. And for her to "try her luck"

:18:10.:18:18.

in the court and then take an offer that was designed to courage --

:18:18.:18:22.

encourage early settlement. Today the court found Sally Bercow's tweet

:18:22.:18:25.

was defamatory and had meant directly or implied that Lord

:18:25.:18:35.
:18:35.:18:46.

she has agreed to pay damages. She has not tweeted today.

:18:46.:18:51.

The number of people taking part in medical research in England has

:18:51.:18:54.

trebled in five years. Clinical trials play a vital role in helping

:18:54.:18:59.

create and test new treatments for diseases. In 2008, some 208,000

:18:59.:19:05.

patients to part in trials. At this year 's figures show the number

:19:05.:19:10.

shooting up to nearly 638,000 patients. There have in similar

:19:10.:19:13.

increases across the whole of the UK, so why are more people

:19:13.:19:18.

volunteering to take part? Without them, new medicines would

:19:19.:19:26.

never be created. Volunteers like Amy. She is on a new typhoid vaccine

:19:26.:19:30.

trial at Oxford University. All those on the trial which we followed

:19:30.:19:36.

for 18 months, also run the risk of getting infected with typhoid.

:19:36.:19:40.

Inside this solution are around 10,000 typhoid back here, and all

:19:40.:19:44.

the volunteers like Gary have to do is drink it. The point is to see

:19:44.:19:50.

whether those who receive the new vaccine protect it. -- are protect

:19:50.:20:00.
:20:00.:20:00.

it. Gary does get typhoid. important thing is to keep an eye on

:20:00.:20:03.

your temperature. In a previous trial, he contracted malaria. He

:20:04.:20:09.

gets paid for taking part, but doesn't he worry about safety?

:20:09.:20:13.

trials are designed to present minimal risk, so I don't see that

:20:13.:20:18.

there is any worry. You just get sick for a bit. You get a couple of

:20:18.:20:23.

days off work. No one can argue if you have typhoid. Mention medical

:20:23.:20:27.

volunteers, and it brings to mind the disastrous private trial at

:20:27.:20:30.

Northwood Park Hospital, when six men became dangerously ill. It did

:20:31.:20:36.

not deter volunteers. In fact, most of those on trials are patients

:20:36.:20:40.

testing medicines to treat their illness. So why have the numbers

:20:40.:20:45.

Lord? Partly, more money for research, but also a change of

:20:45.:20:54.

ethos. Research is now integrated into NHS treatment. We put 15-20% of

:20:54.:21:00.

patients into studies and trials. In the states, they only manage 2-3%.

:21:00.:21:04.

So we have managed to get through to our public to explain to them the

:21:04.:21:08.

advantages of joining in clinical research. The Oxford vaccine trial

:21:09.:21:14.

to benefit people in countries like Nepal, where typhoid is rife and

:21:14.:21:20.

spreading dirty water. We are trying to develop life-saving vaccines

:21:20.:21:24.

which means preventing children dying, particularly in the

:21:24.:21:28.

developing world. So volunteers who come forward for trials are saving

:21:28.:21:32.

the lives of children. And the NHS wants to recruit even more medical

:21:33.:21:38.

volunteers come the unsung heroes of healthcare.

:21:38.:21:41.

Passengers on board a British Airways flight had a nasty scare

:21:41.:21:44.

after their plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Heathrow.

:21:44.:21:48.

Like smoke was seen coming from an engine which was reportedly on fire.

:21:48.:21:54.

-- black smoke. There can't be many more frightening

:21:54.:22:00.

The BBC has announced that it has cancelled an IT project that

spending nearly �100 million on it over five years. The project was

:23:32.:23:37.

intended to give staff easier access to the BBC's vast archives of

:23:37.:23:40.

material. The director-general, Tony Hall, said it was better to close

:23:40.:23:44.

the project than waste more money trying to develop it further.

:23:45.:23:48.

It was the BBC's bold plan to transform the way it made

programmes. Technologists dream of a digital production utopia. There is

:23:54.:23:58.

little film on the Digital Media Initiative, which promised staff a

new way of working. But that promise has failed to materialise, and it

:24:03.:24:09.

has now been scrapped. Everybody at the BBC is mortified about this. We

:24:09.:24:13.

have had to close this project down and there has been a huge waste of

money. What was the idea behind this scheme? The ambition was to do away

He was one of the biggest stars of the London Paralympics on the 100

:25:09.:25:13.

racing. Since the current bits, he has undergone an ankle operation and

:25:13.:25:17.

replaced his running blade and coach. Tomorrow, he will line up for

:25:18.:25:22.

his first race since September at the Great City Games in Manchester.

:25:22.:25:28.

It was one of London's loudest moments. 80,000, chanting one name.

:25:28.:25:35.

Peacock! Peacock, Jonnie Peacock. He sounded like a superstar, and

:25:35.:25:38.

certainly run like one. The blonde bombshell who blazed to Paralympic

glory. He had just run the defining race of the entire games at 19. How

:25:48.:25:53.

do you follow that? By having an ankle operation, a new running blade

:25:53.:25:57.

and now, eight months on, a comeback. But after so much

:25:57.:26:03.

disruption, it is a step into the unknown. It is kind of excited, but

:26:03.:26:09.

anxious to know what shape I am in. Eight months on, does it all seem a

:26:09.:26:12.

bit of a green? What sticks in your mind from that time? It is

:26:13.:26:19.

definitely a dream. For me, the feeling of crossing the line and

:26:19.:26:24.

being so excited and scared at the same time about whether it actually

happened. It was unreal. Among those he beat, Oscar Pistorius, but his

People. I would never have thought a year ago that someone from the

Paralympics would be this recognisable. It is a big relief to

:26:53.:26:57.

see how the sport has progressed. Some believe he could now transcend

:26:57.:27:03.

his sport like no other. For now, Peacock is just back -- lad to be

:27:03.:27:07.

back in the blocks, but this summer he could also become world champion

:27:07.:27:12.

and perhaps the new face of Paralympic sport.
